Automatic operation
Never select position N while the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
Sport and snow programmes
these two special programmes supplement the
automatic operation in very specific conditions
of use.S appears in the instrument panel.
Snow "T"
F Press the " T" switch, after starting the engine.the gearbox adapts to driving on slippery
roads.
th

is programme improves starting and drive
when traction is poor.
T appears in the instrument panel.
Return to automatic operation
F At any time, press the button selected ( S or
" T ") again at any time to quit the programme
engaged and return to auto-adaptive mode.
Creep function (moving
without using the
accelerator)
this function provides great flexibility in
manoeuvring the vehicle at low speed (when
parking, in traffic jams,


…).
With the engine at idle, parking brake released
and position D , M or R selected, the vehicle
moves


as soon as you take your foot off
the brake pedal (even without pressing the
accelerator).
For your safety, this function will be activated
only if you press the brake pedal when
changing from forward drive to reverse.
It is deactivated on opening the driver's door.
Closing the door then pressing the brake or
accelerator pedal reactivates the function.
Never leave children inside the vehicle
without supervision when the engine is
running.
If you vehicle has the Dynamic pack
, refer to
the corresponding section which supplements
sport mode.

changing
of the six gears.th
e gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any intervention on the part
of the driver. It continuously selects the most
suitable gear according to the style of driving,
the profile of the road and the load in the
vehicle.
For maximum acceleration, without touching
the gear selector press the accelerator pedal
down fully (kick-down).
t
h

e gearbox changes
down automatically or maintains the gear
selected until the maximum engine speed is
reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide efficient engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not change to a higher gear for
safety reasons.Sport "S"

It is only possible to change from one gear to
another if the vehicle speed and engine speed
permit; otherwise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succession in the
instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the
gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then
the actual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1
automatically.
th

operate in manual mode.
Manual operation
Invalid value during manual
operation
this symbol is displayed if a gear is
not engaged correctly (gear selector

Stopping the vehicle
If the selector lever is not in position P ,
w hen the driver's door is opened or
approximately 45 seconds after the
ignition is switched off, there is an
audible signal and a message appears.
F

R
eturn the selector lever to
position


P; the audible signal stops
and the message disappears. With the ignition on, a message
appears in the instrument panel
screen to indicate a gearbox fault.
Operating fault
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up mode
and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel a substantial
knock when changing from P to R and from N to R
.
th

is will not cause any damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 62 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a Pe ugeOt dealer or a
qualified workshop.Before switching off the engine, you can
engage position P or N to place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle, unless it is programmed
to automatic mode. You risk damaging the gearbox:
-

i
f you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
-

i
f you force the lever from position P
to another position when the
battery is flat.
to r

educe fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam...), position
the selector lever at N and apply the
parking brake, unless it is programmed
in automatic mode.

Cruise control "CRu ISe"
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
the cruise control system cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
You are advised to keep your feet near the pedals at
all times.
the cruise control is switched on manually: it
requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h).

Dynamic cruise control "CRuISe"
this systems allows the vehicle's speed to be
maintained at a value set by the driver.
In addition it allows (when circumstances
permit) an inter-vehicle time that you have
selected to be maintained between your vehicle
and the one in front.Principles of operation
using a radar with a range of about 100 metres,
located at the front of the vehicle, this system
detects a vehicle running in front of your
vehicle.
It automatically adapts the speed of your
vehicle to that of the vehicle in front.
If the vehicle in front is running more slowly,
the system progressively reduces the speed of
your vehicle using just engine braking (as if the
driver had pressed the "-" b ut to n).
If your vehicle is too close to, or approaching
too quickly the vehicle in front, the dynamic
cruise control is automatically deactivated.
th

e driver is then alerted by an audible signal,
accompanied by a message.
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the dynamic cruise control progressively
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed.
If the driver operates a direction indicator to
overtake a slower vehicle, the dynamic cruise
control allows your vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking manoeuvre, though never exceeding
the programmed speed.
Switching between the types of cruise control
If you want to use the "standard" cruise control,
it is possible to deactivate the dynamic cruise
control in the touch screen.
th

e cruise control selection thumbwheel must
be in the "CR
uI

S
e" p
osition, other wise the
choice will not be taken into account.
For more information on the Cruise
control , refer to the corresponding
section.
th

e state of the system is memorised on
switching off the ignition. F

P
ress the button
to change from
dynamic cruise
control to "standard"
cruise control and
vice-versa.
th
e dynamic cruise control operates
by day and at night, in fog or moderate
rainfall.
th

e system does not act on the braking
system, but works only with engine
braking.
th

e regulation range is limited: there will
no longer be any adjustment of speed if
the difference between the programmed
speed setting and the speed of the vehicle
in front becomes too great.
th
e selection of this system deactivates
the display of inter-vehicle time.
If the difference between the
programmed speed setting and the
speed of the vehicle in front is too
great, the speed cannot be adjusted:
the cruise control is automatically
deactivated.
